Data Backup

Fatal Disk Error?
What does that mean? It means that your computer has crashed and now, you are in big
trouble. Even though computers today are usually very sturdy, it doesn’t take much to
knock your hard drive out of alignment. And once your hard drive stops working, your
computer operations will shortly come to a complete standstill. Unlike other computer
components that can be swapped out when they break, the hard drive is where all your
files are stored, so swapping that out means losing everything. Your best safeguard
against this nightmare is coming up with a good data backup plan.
Some people think that the process of backing up their computer files is a complicated
process that involves tape drives and intricate programs. In reality, data backup can
be as simple as copying a few files to a floppy disk. But floppy disks can only hold
a few files and if you use your computer more than a few times every month, chances
are you have more than a few files that you’d like to protect.
Data Backup the easy way
So how do you get a bunch of files to fit into a small storage area? The answer is
file compression.
Zip technology is the most common and popular type of file compression used in
computing today. Compressing a file is simply a process that takes any normal
file and squeezes it into something smaller. And then when you want to use the
file again, you “unzip” it back to its normal size.
Compressing your data before performing a data backup will save you tons of storage
space. A normal Word document will shrink to at least 1/5 it’s original size when
zipped. This means that an average floppy disk or burned CD will hold 5 times more
when the data is zipped beforehand!
With zip technology, data backup becomes as easy as drag and drop onto a floppy disk
or burnable CD.
Where can I get a good Zipping Program?
There are tons of zipping programs on the market today. The problem with many of
them is that they are so confusing to use. They have buttons that don’t make sense
and other features that aren’t intuitive at all. If you want a zipping solution
that is effective and easy to use, then there is only one place to turn.
